Computer Mediated Distributive Learning and On-Site Residencies
Application Deadline: November 16, 2009
PROGRAM INFORMATION
The Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree was adopted by the Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) in response to a number of societal, scientific, and professional developments. Among these, the nursing shortage and the crisis in the health care system have collectively called for a major paradigm shift that will empower the advanced practice nurse to respond to these developments as they evolve over time. The DNP degree represents the attainment of the highest level of preparation in specialty nursing practice.
The DNP Program at Stony Brook University School of Nursing will prepare diverse clinical leaders who can influence health care outcomes, critically appraise evidence and facilitate the transition of best evidence to best practices. The DNP graduate will ensure accountability for quality health care, utilize information technology to support and improve patient outcomes and health care systems, and set, influence, and implement health policy that will secure improvements in global population health. Interprofessional teams with collaborative leadership will enable the DNP graduate to analyze complex practice and organizational issues and effect improvements in health care delivery models.
The DNP program at Stony Brook University School of Nursing is presented in a computer-mediated distributive learning format with on-site residencies and intensives. Throughout the program, doctoral students will develop the foundational, clinical, organizational, systems, and leadership skills necessary for transforming health care delivery and improving outcomes for selected vulnerable patients and populations. Through development of a selected DNP project and participation in DNP Residencies, students may pursue study in various areas of clinical inquiry. The faculty of the School of Nursing is committed to a spirit of collaboration and mentorship. A major focus of the program is development of a community of scholars, fostering a commitment to lifelong learning, and cultivating an area of clinical scholarly inquiry.
Currently, entry into the DNP program is at the Post-Master’s level. The program length is 42 credits and can be completed in 18 months. Applications for the June 2010 cohort are currently being accepted. The application deadline is November 16, 2009.
